Indian cricketer Wriddhiman Saha has officially announced his retirement from all formats of the game, bringing an end to his 17-year career with a heartfelt farewell during the Ranji Trophy match against Punjab at Eden Gardens on February 1, 2025. The 40-year-old wicketkeeper-batter, renowned for his exceptional skills behind the stumps, saw his final batting innings come to an unfortunate end with a duck—an ironically bittersweet conclusion to the illustrious career of this esteemed cricketer.
“After a cherished journey in cricket, this season will be my last. I’m honoured to represent Bengal one final time, playing only in the Ranji Trophy before I retire. Let’s make this season one to remember!” Saha had posted on the social media platform ‘X’.
In 141 First-Class matches, Saha has scored 7,169 runs at an average of 48.68, including 14 centuries and 44 fifties. The 40-year-old last played for India in December 2021 against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium.
